I decided to wear flat sandals with my dress for a few reasons, I don't want to be uncomfortable in heels and I don't really like ballet flats. I was going to get the rose gold ones from David's...

I'm finalizing my seating chart and curious, when it comes to sweetheart tables, do FH and I just sit in whichever seat or is one of us supposed to be on the left or right? May be a trivial question,...

I'm a bit confused on seating arrangements. I was under the impression that I would have a seating chart on display at my venue so every guest could see which table they are at and be done with it. I...

I knew to expect some declines, it happens. This particular decline comes from a lifelong friend who is a sister to one of my bridesmaids. She just had her first baby about two weeks ago. I heard from...

We just found out FMIL's pastor will be performing our ceremony for free (awesome!) because fmil and her husband are big donors at the church. This will be about a 45 minute drive for he and his wife....

I keep getting asked what food I want at my my bridal shower. I have celiac, so I cant have gluten but other than thay, whats customary? I typically dont eat at showers, so I dont usually pay...

Were looking at tuxes/suits this weekend. Has anyone had a bridesman? I have one and I'm not sure what to have him wear. To me, it would look weird for him to match the groomsmen but I also dont think...

Curious.

How did/are you decorating your aisle and arch? - Pics please!

My venue offers black, white and red linens. All along it's been a no-brainer that I'd be using white because I prefer lighter colors and black and red would both clash with my colors. However now I'm...

Show me your jewelry

Is anyone doing a more toned down version of the garter and bouquet toss? I like the idea of using the tradition but not really wanting FH to fish around up my dress in front of 100 people.

I have 4 extra bm dresses (long story) that are brand new, no alterations, with tags on. Can anyone recommend a good site to try and sell on? Thanks in advance! *Edit* just to mention-- they were...

About how much did you pay for your open bar and how many guests did you have? Also, did anyone do drink tickets or is that considered tacky? *EDIT* did anyone provide an open bar for 2 or 3 hours or...

My wedding location doesn't have an area for FH and I to get ready. I've thought about getting a hotel room across the street but we are getting married at 4 pm. Most hotels have check in at 3 pm and...

My 2 and a half year old niece will be my flower girl.. so she'll likely need someone to escort her. How does this work? Her mom will be a bridesmaid and her sister will be a junior bridesmaid. Her...

I just recently asked another question about alterations but now I'm asking how much all you brides paid for alterations. I got my gown at Brilliant Bridal, which is a chain store in the southwest...

Anyone buy the bridal buddy? Or try out the trash bag method? I need a plan!

I always thought it was best man and MOH but a quick Google search is giving me all kinds of different answers. Is it rude if parents don't make a toast? Do FH and I have to make one? What is everyone...
